How to Compare and Switch Gas Plans in WA

Staying loyal to a gas provider won’t always net you special offers or discounts. When it comes down to it, you want the best offer; and one of the best ways to see if you’re on a good rate is to compare the market.

By shopping around, you can explore your options and potentially find a plan that will save you more money than the one you are on right now. Remember, gas costs are a recurring expense, and finding the best gas rates can lead to long-term savings and lower utility bills.

Start by getting a fundamental understanding of your gas usage. This is important because it can help you choose a plan that offers the best rates based on your usage habits. Grab a recent bill and look at factors like how much gas you typically use during your billing cycle. You can also identify any seasonal fluctuations, such as increased usage during the winter months.

Next, determine what factors are most important to you in a gas plan. Are you looking for the cheapest possible rates, flexible contract terms, or inclusive features? Maybe you’re interested in environmentally friendly options. Knowing your preferences will help you filter through plans more efficiently.

Lastly, you’ll want to speak to an energy expert at Electricity Monster. If you’re short on time or don’t want to deal with the hassle of shopping around, don’t worry – we’ll handle the process for you.

We’ll perform a serviceability check on your property to determine what gas rates are available to you. Whether you’re moving to a new property and aren’t sure whether you have a gas connection or forgot to set up a gas connection and need a streamlined solution, we can help. Call us today.

How to Read Your Gas Bill

Your gas bill can offer valuable insight into your usage habits, rates, and trends. Let’s break down some of the key components you should consider.

Account Summary

On the top of your gas bill, you’ll typically see the following:

Your household address and account number
The type of gas plan you are on and the tariff type
The amount due
Pay on time discount date or due date
Overdue charges
Included GST

Usage Details

Many retailers include a section that breaks down your gas consumption—this is often displayed in a table or graph. You’ll typically find your daily average usage compared with previous billing periods. Understanding your usage can help you identify trends.

Daily Supply Charges

The daily supply charge is a fixed cost that you pay each day, regardless of how much gas you use. This charge covers the cost of providing service to your property.

Fees and Charges

Check your bill for any additional charges, such as late payment fees, service connection fees, or special meter reading charges.

Discounts and Rebates

Your bill will list any discounts or rebates you are eligible for. Some discounts include pay-on-time or monthly bundle discounts.

GST (Goods and Services Tax)

The GST is a standard 10% tax applied to most goods and services in Australia. Your bill will show the total amount of GST charged for your gas usage and other applicable fees.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Are Usage Rates?

Usage rates are the rates you pay based on the amount of gas you consume, typically measured in units (One gas unit is the equivalent of 3.6Mj). Usage rates can vary between gas providers and are influenced by factors such as location and seasonal demand. Some plans may have different rates for peak and off-peak usage or incorporate block tariffs where the usage rate changes based on your consumption level.

How Many Gas Providers Are In WA?

The following gas providers currently operate in the WA market:

ENGIE
Origin Energy
AGL
Alinta Energy
Kleenheat

What If I Am Not Happy After Signing Up With A New Gas Supplier?

Just like your electricity plan, you are entitled to a 10-day cooling-off period after signing up for a new gas plan. This means you can end your contract without incurring any penalties or fees. However, it’s important to check with your provider first.

How Do I Set Up A Natural Gas Connection If I’m Moving?

Organising a new natural gas connection to a house in Perth or other surrounding cities in Western Australia is relatively easy. Provide our team with the address of the property you are moving into and the date you would like to be connected, and we’ll work to get your new connection sorted. In certain cases, we may need a form of ID to set up your energy account. Call us at 1300 232 848, and our energy experts will help you connect your natural gas.
